This safe is as advertised and I'm happy with the product. I'm not an expert on safes so I don't know how much it might deter a thief although I primarily bought it for the fire safety aspect and the security aspect was appreciated.

While the product itself is good the manufacturer's packing is not very good. Given that it weighs a lot, it is a safe after all, the manufacturer packed it in a regular box with just a little bit of styrofoam and I had Staples ship it to my home. Well, to make a long story short I had to have three of them shipped, two returns, due to serious damage of the safe.

And this is where I can not say enough about the excellent customer service from Staples! Wow, first of all Staples had the best price I could find - and then they provided free shipping - three times! Each shipment was handled in one to two days and they shipped the replacement unit before they picked up the damaged unit! Try to find that anywhere! And they were a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. Needless to say, I'm definitely checking Staples first for future purchases of items they're likely to carry!

I shopped all over for a home safe that met all my personal requirements, and I finally found what I was looking for right at Staples. I was so happy when I got it home knowing I could bolt it to the floor. I did not have to worry about my battery going dead all the time anymore that is why I went back to a combination and key lock system. Very happy customer indeed!

Good value for the money. I bought this for the fire rating and water resistance. Is heavy enough to discourage all but the strongest and most determined thief. Only negative above this safe is the handle feels cheap plastic and the plastic dials that is not very smooth.

Missed the staples delivery for the first day but got a call and they will redeliver the next day. Guy was very nice and delivered the safe inside the house.Instructions on the box was easy to follow how to remove the box easily and not carrying the safe itself and hurt yourself. We cut the bottom part and there you go the safe was outside the box. It actually have a guide on where to cut.Started using it and it was really good. It has another key so even if somebody knows your code they still can't open it, like an additional protection. Also it has another box inside with a key for another safety if you want.Total was a great product.

This safe is secure and makes me confident that my valuables will be safe. The safe weighs 99 pounds, a sure detterence to any thief and I had it bolted in the floor for extra caution! I like the shelving on the door and the shelf inside. The double locking feature is great as well so u know everything is safe! Their is an additional drawer in the safe that comes with itw own key. It's great to keep small things in there but it's pretty flimsy. Don't count on that drawer to protect your valuables. So long as the safe is locked that drawer is secure. I would def recommend this safe to anyone looking for security from theft for their valuables.
